Volunteer for Psychological Assessment

Here’s the skinny: Some grad students need people to practice giving psychological assessments to.  They’re thinking you might be a good person to practice on.  They’re asking that you volunteer your time. ——-

Are you interested in gaining more exposure to the field of clinical psychology?

Do you want to experience what psychological assessment is like?

The doctoral clinical psychology program is looking for volunteers for our graduate students who are being trained in assessment.  Volunteers will be administered a clinical assessment by a graduate student.  Sessions may be taped or observed for training purposes.  Given that the purpose is for training, the results of this assessment will not be provided, and will be kept confidential.
Appointments will be scheduled the week of 1/28, 2/18, and 3/4.  If interested, please email your availability for those weeks in 2 hour blocks to Dr. Risa Broudy at rbroudy@gwu.edu.  Assignments will be made on a first come, first serve basis and depending on your availability.
